Never thought much of Norway. Italy and Britain were on my mind, not to mention New Zealand. How wrong I was. This is now not a matter of a bucket list anymore. A bucket isn't big enough. Norway is at least three buckets full. It's on the list, on my mind, on the calendar. Thank you so much, Matthew. Norway here I come!

Congratulations again Matthew! I laughed, I enjoyed and I meditated on your last words, which were spot on as usual. Beautiful country, it goes without saying, but seen from a cyclists perspective makes it even more beautiful. I say it again : your editing coupled with your narrative participate in making your videos my favourite KZitem cycling content. Please! More! :-)

Matthew, I’m enjoying all of your videos and want to thank you for them. I’ve cycled in Norway twice and plan to return when possible. You’ve given me some ideas for future routes. Thanks again, Ron “I live in Northern Wisconsin near Minneapolis.

Hi Matthew, i like your videos very much. Norway is really one of my favorite countries in Europe. I wonder if you have ever heard of Fulgaz? Fulgaz is an app which can be used with an interactive trainer for indoor cycling. The routes are all filmed by someone cycling the route with a 4 K GoPro. Anyone can make these rides as long as they meet the minimum required quality. I’m sure your videos will do. The only limitation is not to look left or right but just straight on. Can you take a look at Fulgaz an perhaps join the community by adding some of your superior rides?

Epic as usual, simply epic mate. One thing baffles me, you've done some off-road stuff riding from Oslo to Stavanger but I feel like that was just a taste of what Norway has to offer. How about an all-gravel journey? Far away from churches (albeit very pretty) and cars, only you and pure wilderness, that would be a different level of awesome. Does Norway provide many rideable paths for such an expedition? Safe journeys and keep on posting those vids!

The coastal route has limited roads due to the fjords and mountains so no real gravel adventures are possible. However, in the central and western parts of the country, there are some really great gravel rides. I have a 163km gravel video to edit/produce which I did last summer but I must prioritise the coastal journey first. Gravel/off-road rides will come :)

Whoever came up with the idea of putting dog shit in plastic bags? Instead of a short term environmental hazard, which rapidly degrades thro weather and insect action, it is transformed into a long term source of pestilence by wrapping in plastic. Here in Scotland on my local cycle route, many of the dog owners discard these bags of filth all over the place. Trees and bushes can be seen with black bags of shit swaying from the branches with regular frequency. It drives me to despair. I agree with you're enthusiasm around churches on you're bike rides. My main experience in Scandanavia is thro biking in Sweden, the churches there are really beautiful, with imaculate graveyards that are a pleasure to visit. They always have water taps in several places for the gardeners, which are super for cooling off and in most cases, filling bidons, as the water is potable, in most cases . Thanks for another good piece of travelogue.

Good point, the water access at churches is very handy while on road. I had a conversation with a Norwegian priest once who informed me the state pays well to maintain the churches. This is why they are beautiful and the gardens/graveyards are tidy and clean. I think It certainly adds a huge amount of value to the local communities.

Well anyone who just leaves the bags around should be shot! A doggie bag goes into the bin and then into an incenerator! Its really not that hard. And yes, I love the churches around the country! (atheist and all) During covid I spent my vecation borrowing a car and travelling south on summer and north the next. And I ALLWAYS stopped at an interesting looking church to admire the style of architecture and some of the local history it presented.

Hi, I just watched your series bikepacking to the Nordkapp. I’ve done Trondheim to Nordkapp on a touring bike, but next year I want to do it bikepacking. Great to see your series to get an idea. I have a question though: are you on the Schwalbe G-One Allround? How do they cope with the miles and have you been riding them tubeless? Thanks and keep exploring! 🚲

Yes g-one allround 40mm. Last year I did close to 5000km bikepacking (28kg set up) with a pair (tubeless). By the end the back wheel was quite worn, front okay). No punctures. This year I went with tubes and no problems again so far. Highly recommend them.

@@matthewnorway thanks for that! 5000km is not too bad. I think I will go tubeless next year. I already marked some roads I have to do after seeing your video's😁. And yes... the middle part of Norway is fantastic. I remember giggling quite often when a new view presented itself. Can't wait to go there again.
